Grains Start Day in the Red. Friday, March 28, 2025
At 8:30 a.m. CT, May corn was down 5¾¢ at $4.44¼ per bushel.

“Grain and soybean futures are lower across the board at the end of early trade, with wheat futures leading the way lower under pressure from forecasts for needed rain in the U.S. [hard red winter] wheat belt and slow export demand,” said The Brock Report about the overnight trading session. “Corn futures have been pressured by the wheat market weakness, with expectations for a jump in U.S. acreage [in USDA’s annual Prospective Plantings report, expected next Monday,] remaining a bearish factor. Soybean futures followed corn lower overnight despite expectations for a significant drop in U.S. plantings.”
